Question

All the common noble gases are monoatomic and have low boiling points. Using the row number of the Periodic Table, predict the boiling point of Radon (Rn). Assuming boiling points for noble gases follow a linear trend, this is easily done by graphing boiling point vs. row number in a spreadsheet. Enter the row number and boiling point data into a blank spreadsheet, putting the row number in column A and the boiling point in column B. In column C, convert all the boiling points to Kelvin by using an equation for each calculation. In cell D1 type "slope" and in cell D2 type "y-intercept" In cell E1 you will calculate the slope (see the help files for the "slope" function for more assistance) type "=slope(", then use your mouse to select the boiling point data (the numbers in column C) type then use your mouse to select the row data (the numbers in column A) type ")" and then hit the "enter" key In cell E2 you will calculate the y-intercept (see the help files for the "intercept" function for more assistance) type "=intercept(", then use your mouse to select the boiling point data (the numbers in column C) type "," then use your mouse to select the row data (the numbers in column A) type ")" and then hit the "enter" key In cell D4 type "b.p. of Rn", in D5 type "row", and in E5 type "b.p. (K)" Use your knowledge of typing spreadsheet formulas to determine the boiling point of Rn Slope = y-intercept = b.p. of Rn =

Explanation / Answer

slope= 44.8 /// y-inter= -329.3 ///// B.P. of Rn = -60.5 degrees celsius or 212.5 K
